I relocated to the IE after a few years of being back. My money goes farther out here. Much like moving to Tennessee, but without the humidity and bugs. And green.

In a way it's a bit sad to see Nullgeo crush his opposition so easily, almost single-handedly. I quickly ran out of reps to give him.

It is well accepted -- for well, just about forever -- by philosophers and psychologists alike, that anger IS an expression of fear.

But I suppose that's just conspiratorial too ... *sigh*

When I left OC after a mere 44-year stretch, I left. Period. End of statement. I didn't post endlessly about how different it was, because I realize and have accepted that nothing stays the same. I didn't feel like a jilted lover like some of you people sound. I. Just. Left.

And the same goes for when I moved to Spokane.

First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.


Nothing stays the same but you had better speak out and do something if it is getting worse.
I am out of here in 4 months and will no longer be one of the voices speaking out. However, I will not deter those from speaking out against the many things wrong w/ California. For some people, it's home and they care. I will care up until the day I leave. If you have something wrong w/ that, I invite you to not frequent this section of the site.

It's one thing to not care..to not speak out.
It's a whole other thing to deter others who do because you don't.

I see you do the later. Cheers

Hahahahaha ... oh please! Stop it, my sides are splitting ...
the 26-year-old Oracle has spoken once again ... and warned, in his benevolence, of the coming times and dangers of California ....
barfing again from laughing too hard ...

Life and death on a par with the great dark chapters of world history ...
never has there been such an insurmountable struggle before ...

You're from Florida. You don't count.

(By the way, congrats for the rare post that wasn't Proustian in length)

EDIT: Naturally, it wasn't long enough for him, so he had to add more.

And you count because you're one of the few who don't care? I'm from the United States and I probably cared more about California and actually did something about it while I lived here in my short single digit years than you did in your 44.
